| Summary: | The author, who now teaches at the University of Surrey Roehampton, began his studies in the Protestant Theological Faculty at the Charles University in Prague and has subsequently exercised a preaching ministry in the Reformed Church in Slovakia and in Scotland. That background is relevant because the approach he adopts to his chosen topic has much in common with that of another Reformed theologian, Karl Barth. That is to say, Anselm's philosophical methodology is largely ignored, in order to extract what is seen as his key dogmatic or doctrinal conclusions. As such, philosophers might be tempted to dismiss such a work out of hand. That, however, would seem to me a mistake. Potentially there is much to learn from an alternative lens being used to try to read a familiar work in a new way. |
